Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by Florence & Reed from the almighty COME CURIOUS podcast!
Of course, the podcast is one aspect of both of their wide and varied skillset, but it's a hugely important and awesome element - even in terms of reframing 'sex positive' as 'sex honest'. Florence and Reed have been making power moves in the world of sex work, including being active within it, fighting for rights and equality, and ensuring that things don't get misrepresented and blurry along the way. As you'll hear, the work they do is not easy by any means. It is a fascinating chat tho, as we hear about their road to podcasting, how to navigate relationships as podcasters and sex workers, the difference between attraction and appreciation (and how they may blend), having a tangible item out in the world (a book) vs making invisible art (podcasts), and a huge amount of other goodness along the way. Nothing too graphic here but perhaps if you're playing in the presence of younger folk, it could be worth being around for occasional explanations! ENJOY - it's a lovely one.
DON'T FORGET PIP ON PATREON if you're of a supporting nature

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 513 and this is an amazing episode today. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm joined by Florence Bark and Reed Amber collectively known as Come Curious. They host a podcast called FUX Given, |
| 0:17.0 | which has lucky enough to go on recently. We talk about a little bit about that and Florence has got an amazing |
| 0:24.0 | book out called this book will make you feel something. We talk about all those things, but I have to give kind of a content or warning. |
| 0:32.0 | Florence and Reed's podcast is a sex. It's going to say sex positive, but just sex themed, I guess. So we're talking a lot about sex, about porn, about sexuality, about relationships, about all of those things. |
| 0:47.0 | They're really important things to talk about. As really I mentioned on the podcast, I was excited to go on their podcast and talk about sex a go over there if you want to hear some of that. |
| 0:57.0 | But I was also excited to have them on my podcast because I think openness and honesty about sex and sexuality is so important, but it shouldn't be restricted to just podcasts that are about sex if you know what I mean, you know, I think it's better for everyone. |
| 1:13.0 | Better for society. The more comfortable we are around sex. And that's not to mean that you have to be into anything that you're not into, but they're comfortable with. |
| 1:24.0 | I think is really important and I think it's important for young people to have a broader understanding of the realities of sex rather than simply the mythologies, the school playground talk and things like that. |
| 1:37.0 | And I think for grown people as well, you know, it should be a constant learning experience. It's a great learning experience. |
| 1:45.0 | But if you could think of all the classes to get stuck in from school for the rest of your life, it's not much of a better one than sex. Now actually sex education at school is a polling, but still there's not a much better subject to continue to learn on and to continue developing a role. |
| 2:01.0 | So yeah, that's what we're going to talk about here. As said, I think I talk about it in the podcast. I think both of these women are absolutely fantastic and do really good work. I recommend them both as follows on social media as well as the come curious and facts given content. |
| 2:19.0 | And on YouTube, all of these places, hopefully you're just about to have a big deep dive. I know when I had Charlie and Nina on from sex with Charlie and Nina another fantastic podcast. If you've come here for read and Florence, I recommend sex with Charlie and Nina, the podcast. |
| 2:36.0 | I can't personally recommend the actual I'm going to stop talking. |
| 2:42.0 | But yeah, I know they had a really nice kind of uptaken people going, oh, this is really good to hear just people talking honestly and openly about relationships, about sex, about sexuality, everything. So yeah, it's really good. |
| 2:56.0 | It's really good. As ever, we're brought to you by speech development records.com. We touch upon the fact that read was into some of my music back in the day speech development records.com is where you can get all the music based stuff, you can get podcast stuff, you can get all sorts of good merch. |
| 3:11.0 | We've done some crazy things over the years. We've done swimsuits, swim shorts, vests, sunglasses, all sorts of hats, all sorts of accoutrements for your day to day life. |
| 3:24.0 | So head over there and see what you fancy. And there's a rumor that we're about to restock the sunglasses that sell out every year because I only do a limited run because it feels kind of nice to be in demand. |
| 3:36.0 | And that's more important to me than cold hard cash. So yeah, we're going to restock them sunglasses in the next few weeks. |
| 3:46.0 | It's going to be a limited run of the original white on black and there's going to be a very limited run of the gold on black. So yeah, keep an eye for that. |
| 3:55.0 | Let's get into the podcast, shall we? In fact, actually, while we're here, I did an episode of while back on the subject of I believe it was on the subjects of sex and death with Carla Valentine dig back into the back catalog for that. |
| 4:09.0 | Trying to think of any other good ones that might be worth that might be relevant from deep into the back catalog. But yeah, there's one for now. |
